I fucking hated those subs for that exact reason. What’s good about a thousand comments saying “removed”? How does that help anyone? It’s so asinine, and then the little goober defenders cry about how it’s to keep the level of discussion high. What discussion? Discussion is blatantly not allowed.
Comment on One of the absolute best features of lemmy is that everyone is simply allowed to post.
HorseWithNoName@lemm.ee 1 year agoIt’s like r/history and r/science. Every single comment thread was completely empty with nothing but [removed] over and over. Why the fuck even have a sub at that point? And then anytime anyone mentioned how ridiculous it was, in other subs even, they’d get piled on by people defending it somehow. It’s like being in the fucking twilight zone.

EXACTLY. could not stand that shit. smug and obnoxious. it makes sense to promote good answers, sure, but don’t remove everything else! what if i don’t need a PHD-level answer to something? can’t you use flairing to showcase good answers instead of deleting everything?
